About the São Paulo Museum of Art
The São Paulo Museum of Art, known as MASP (Museu de Arte de São Paulo), is an art museum on Paulista Avenue in São Paulo, Brazil. Its headquarters, a concrete and glass structure from 1968 designed by Lina Bo Bardi, is well known for its architectural significance. It is seen as one of the city's landmarks, as an emblem of modern architecture in Brazil, and as one of the world's most-visited art museums.
Assis Chateaubriand and Pietro Maria Bardi founded the museum in 1947, and it is run as a non-profit institution. It opened to the public on October 2, 1947, in upper floors of the Diarios Associados building in the city's Centro neighborhood, and it was the first museum in Brazil to show art made after World War II. Its collection of European art is considered among the finest in Latin America and in the Southern Hemisphere, and the whole collection, with more than 8,000 pieces, is on the Brazilian National Heritage list.
São Paulo City Hall donated the Paulista Avenue plot, the former site of the Belvedere Trianon, on condition that the view toward downtown and over the Nove de Julho Avenue valley stay protected. To keep that view, Lina Bo Bardi designed a building suspended above the ground, whose main body stands on four lateral supporting pillars and leaves a 74-meter free area beneath it. Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated it during a visit to Brazil.

- A long box raised on its ends
- The body is held up at its ends, with open space beneath it. Printing slowly and using layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm helps that long underside come out clean.
- One piece with the ground
- The São Paulo Museum of Art is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
